That would seem to be the sensible thing to do.

It makes perfect sense to me.

Yet replies b) and e) are quite frequent. Reply f) is often the choice when b) and e) are in use.

If I (not a Jew) speak up for the Jewish children and their parents, I'm never sure if I'll get your response, a faceful of venom, the suggestion to segregate (genteel repression), or "oh, why can't you keep quiet?" as a reply. Yet all these respondents identify themselves as Christians. It tends to make one defensive and prepared for the worst. I didn't used to be that way, but I have been taught well.

I threw in the extra one, about the religious program, as an afterthought because I know proactive yet conservative Christians who would consider that alternative -- more work -- to be a decent compromise between their religious requirement to witness and their civic requirement to be tolerant of others' beliefs. That's more a Church of the Brethren type response.
